Warming up
Learning Objectives
By the end of the class, I will be able to
1. extract and summarize the expert’s views on robots and AI from the listening text, and identify key discourse markers;
2. design and present a school robot by defining its key functions, human-robot relationship, and core rule;
3. evaluate the designed robots critically by defending core human value.

Round 1—— Interview
What’s the relationship between “human” and “robot” in the Three Laws
Law 1
A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Law 2
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Law 3
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Superior
Protect human
Obey orders
Protect itself
Inferior
Round 2—— Discussion
The line between humans and robots is becoming blurred.
Q: Should we stop developing intelligent robots Why or why not
As robots become more human-like, what’s the final line they must never cross

Q1: Do you think robots will eventually live among us, and do most of our jobs for us
A1: Well, robots already do many jobs, in factories, for example. But they often do simple tasks. However, ... more complex occupations, such as teaching or nursing, and we are therefore likely to make them look more like us, so we feel more comfortable.
Q2: What benefits and problems do you think this would bring
A2: The main benefit ... But there would certainly be issues with ... Above all, we need to ...
Q3: That reminds me of the Three Laws of Robotics by Isaac Asimov. Is that what you mean
A3: Yes. ... However, he also showed ... I believe he was ...
Q4: In sci-fi stories, robots often become superior and take over. Do you think this could really happen If so, should we not build clever robots
A4: It is very hard to ... Robot technology is developing very fast, so it could be possible. ... I think the line ...
Listen for discourse markers
Discourse markers are used to organise a text by marking sequence, contrast, opinion, purpose, and so on. Listening for discourse markers can help you understand a text more easily. For example, first, however, above all, in order to, etc.
Presentation
Self-assessment
Objectives Level
1. I can extract and summarize the expert’s views on robots and AI, and identify the discourse markers;
2. I can design and present a school robot by defining its key functions, human-robot relationship, and core rule.
3. I can evaluate the designed robots critically by defending core human value.
It is we humans that define our future!
Summary
Required
